Rolled Fabric Flowers

I have taught 2 different women’s groups about how to make fabric flowers. At both I taught Kanzashi Fabric Flowers (like HERE) and at one I also taught the Fabric Roses for home decor. At both classes I happened to be wearing a magnetic flower broach – a classic mirror shot:

Anyways, after my segment in the classes, both times several people came up to me wanting to know how to make the type of fabric flowers that I was wearing. I just assumed that they were so simple to make, that everyone knew how and no tutorial on them was needed. But maybe that’s because I live in craft-blog-land, and normal people don’t see fabric flower tutorials on a daily basis. Anyways, here’s for the normal people – how to make a rolled fabric flower – I even made a video:

So basically, you get a strip of fabric – I like to rip mine so there are frayed edges – tie a knot in one end, then just wrap the strip around the knot, giving a twist here and there as you go. Wrap til it’s as big as you want it, then glue the end down and then glue the whole flower onto a circle piece of fabric/felt. You can even make the middle one strip of fabric and then wrap a different strip around the outside.

I like this type of fabric flower for headbands and broaches because they’re flatter than the gathered fabric flowers. Anyways, super easy, just try it – and don’t aim for perfection – each is unique and cute!

(LOVE those 6 for $1 cheap-o headbands at the Dollar Store – great for wrapping in fabric, plus they’re the ones my girls wear because they’re not too tight and don’t have those pokey teeth things.)
